Memorial I5ai| ♦ ♦ ♦ During these trying times we should all stop and think of the true meaning and significance of this day. The meaning is brought to our minds more forcefully this year than, perhaps, ever before. Let’s all do our part and observe Memorial Day this year with thoughtfulness and true reverence. ♦ ♦ ♦ CAFE ROYALE

MANY INDIANA LAWS HAVE STOOD SINCE ENACTMENT EARLY IN 1800’s

In thf library in tho office of Gillen A Lyon is an especially Interesting- volume which bears the name of C. C. Gillen on the cover and, on the inside title page, bears the inscription "The Revised Statutes of the State of Indiana . . . 1838.” It contains the legislative enactments of the twenty-second session of the legislature. It is a very noticeable fact that very many of the statutes enacted in that early year—more than a century ago—are yet in effect -in In-diana-—or their principal provisions are in effect -with but few changes. However, the changes In the civil and economic life of the state have brought about cancellation of others of the statutes, this pertaining, for instance, to provisions for erecting dams in streams for the operation of water power mills, the utablishment and operation of county seminaries, the banning of dueling, the control of apprentices, the control of canals, of ferries, of grist mills, the forbidding of Indians to testify as witnesses, and other items of like nature. The sections of the law pertaining to the erection of dams In streams are particularly interesting, in this late clay. The permit to maintain such dams is "A writ ad quod damnum.” The law recognized the necessity of the householders of a century ago to have means, conveniently located, of having their corn and other grain ground, before the days of the steam engine or tne horse powermill. There were water power mills on all of the streams of Putnam county which had enough water flowing in them to turn the

paddle wheels of the mills, even part time only. These wheels were big affairs, some of them overshot and some undershot, which means that in the instance of the former, tn« stream of water in the flume was directed under the wheel, and in the other kind of wheel the water fell from the flume onto the outer ends of the paddle. Some streams in the county, such as Big Walnut, and Big Raccoon, had a sufficient volume of water in them through practically the entire season to operate the water mills located on them, but Deer Creek was notionate in its water supply, as were Little Walnut, the Warford fork of Big Walnut, Doe creek, and others of similar oharacter. Even the small Allen's branch, crossed northwest of town by the Clinton Falls road, had at least one such mill on it, as is proven by a mill stone lying by the stream’* side a short distance above the highway according to a statement made to the writer years ago by the late Dr. P. S. Baker The late Foster Pickett, when a resident of the Reelsvllle community, who formerly lived near Grovelsnd, named to the writer from memory fifteen water power mills located on Big Walnut prior to the “August freshet” of 1874, from up in Jackson township down to its junction with Mill Creek in the southwestern corner of the county. The wilt of “ad quod damnum," set out in detail the method to be followed by a property owner when he desired to erect a dam. for milling purposes ,in a stream adjoining his property. The owner presented a petition to the circuit court, which

THE BOYS LIKE THESE

-• Cookies for soldiers, sailor* or marines are an important part of our lives these days. We are on the lookout for anything in the way of cookies that will appeal to the boys. Of course, chocolate cookies are always popular. So here is the recipa for chocolate refrigerator cookies that one mother has told me are great favorites with her boy. She says she sends him a big batch of thess cookies every two weeks. On alternate weeks a chocolate loaf cake and fudge goes to him. CHOCOLATE REFRIGERATOR COOKIES

Vj cop shortening ‘/i cup sugar 1 egg 2 squares chocolate (2 or.), melted

1% cups SIFTED all purpose flour Vt tsp. salt 1 1 tap. baking powder 3 tbsp. milk

/ After creaming the shortening and sugar together, blend In the well-beaten egg. Add the chocolate which has been melted over hot water and cooled slightly. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder and add to the chocolate mixture ■Itemately with the milk. Form into rolls 2'A inches in diameter and chill for several hours. When the roll is stiff, cut into slices and bake 12 to IB minutes in a moderately hot oven, 400° F. • This makes about 4 dozen cookies. Crisp, Full-flavored Slices ^ You’ll find that these are crisp, full-flavored cookies. To keep them crisp store them after they are baked in a can with a loose cover. They will remain dry and crisp except in very humid weather, then they can be dried again in the oven if they become too loft. Good Witk Summer Drinks ' You'll also find that these cookies “go well" with lemonade and such ice cold fruit drinks, if you make them for home consumption. Conservers of Oven Heat v -■* Like all other refrigerator cookies, these are especially convenient because you can keep your rolls of cooky dough wrapped in waxed paper in the refrigerator — and slice off a few to bake any time you nave the oven going. For instanca, if you are using your oven for a casserole dish — put in a few cookies to bake too. You see you won’t 'have to heat the oven Juat to bak»the cookies. To Make Cookies Square or Round ' / Of course, we’re used to round cookiee — but you can make your refrigerator cookies square, if you like, by preuing the cooky dough into a waxed cardboard carton (such as butter and brick ice cream come in). Or force the dough into a round ice cream carton. This way your cookies will lie beautifully even and uniform In aise. 1 — —-Copyright 1942 hj Bftty Crocker, loc. ■■ - ■ ■■ ■ If you hava any apeclfle cooking problems, send a latter requesting Information to Betty Crocker In ear# of this newspaper.
